"At least you have Tian Zhuo to accompany you in your family. Look at me, when I get home, Fang Zhenzhen and the elderly grandparents are waiting for food. They don't have any free time at all!" Tian Lijuan said.
After Fang Zhizhi and Fang Zhenzhen got married, Tian Lijuan felt that the house became a lot quieter.
Although Fang Zhenzhen came back often for meals after getting married, she would complain about her mother-in-law whenever she came back. Although Tian Lijuan felt sorry for her daughter, she felt a little annoyed after hearing so many complaints.
But if he didn't come back, Tian Lijuan would feel lonely again, and at this time she really wanted to have another child to accompany her.
"When you have children, you have to worry about them all the time. People say everything will be fine once the children grow up, but I think you have to worry about them until they get old," said Lin Meiyu.
The two of them prepared the food very quickly. After everyone finished eating, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, Tian Lijuan returned to the county town. Tian Yuan sent Tian Lijuan back and went to the train station to buy tickets.
Han Luying packed their luggage at home, preparing to go directly to their respective troops to work.
They didn't really have anything to take, so Han Luying only took a few pieces of clothing. Her belongings had already been sent to the army, so they were packed up quickly.
Tian Yuan had more luggage, but they hadn’t been back home to live for a long time, so most of their luggage was still at school. The luggage of both of them could only fill one suitcase.
It's just that they were going to two different places, so each of them brought a luggage bag.
Especially Old Lady Tian and Lin Meiyu were packing delicious food for them everywhere.
It’s nothing. During the Chinese New Year last year, Old Mrs. Tian asked for a lot of pork, and Tian Lijuan also brought back several kilograms of pork when she came back on the second day of the New Year.
Old Mrs. Tian soaked a lot of the mushrooms she picked in the mountains last fall, made a big pot of mushroom and pork sauce, and filled several bottles for the two of them.
There are some left, and I plan to give them to Tian Tian when the time comes.
Add in some miscellaneous food and their luggage was filled up.
Han Luying didn't want to take so many things at first, but since this was Lin Meiyu's kindness, she couldn't refuse, so she took all the things.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Han Luying and Tian Yuan got up early in the morning, packed their luggage and prepared to go to the train station.
Lin Meiyu got up early in the morning to make them burritos and helped them pack their things. She muttered, "You're always so busy every time you leave. If it doesn't work out next time, you can book a room at the guesthouse for the night, then have a good breakfast the next morning before taking the bus."
Tian Yuan and his friends were walking around home, and not only were they anxious, but Lin Meiyu was also worried that they would miss the bus, and she couldn't sleep well at night.
"Mom, don't worry. I know the tickets we bought. We just need to be careful and we will definitely catch the train." Tian Yuan said.
"I don't know if there are buses available today. If not, let your dad help you two take your luggage to your aunt's place first, and then he will ride his bike to take you two there." Lin Meiyu stuffed the eggs she had cooked in the morning into their luggage, muttering to herself.
"No need. There's such a thick layer of snow on the road outside that we can't ride a bike at all. Our train leaves at noon, so we still have time to walk there and we can even go to the restaurant for a meal." Tian Yuan also felt sorry for his father.
"That's right, mom. You don't have to worry about it. Carrying these things and walking this distance are no big deal for us. Usually, the weights we carry during training marches are much heavier and the distance we walk is also longer." Han Luying also said.
Only then did Lin Meiyu give up the idea of asking Tian Lisong to take them to the train station.
"Have you packed up? I've talked to Niu Laosi and asked him to send a cart for 50 cents. Now the cart has been harnessed and is waiting at the entrance of the village. You should hurry up and get on the cart!" Tian Lisong, covered in snow, said as he came in from outside the door.
He just went out to discuss the matter of sending out the ox cart.
Normally, if there is nothing in the team that needs to be transported by ox carts, or if everyone has not made a collective agreement to go out to buy things, ox carts will not be used. If you want him to send a cart alone, you will definitely have to pay more.
When Lin Meiyu heard this, she didn't bother to ask Tian Lisong to take them there on his bicycle. She quickly took their luggage and urged them to leave. "Then don't stay here, both of you. Hurry up and take the bullock cart. Don't keep them waiting too long!"
Tian Yuan and Han Luying were helpless. They could have stayed at home for a while, and taking the ox cart would have been faster. But the ox cart was already waiting, so they couldn't stay any longer and had to go out with their luggage.
Except for Old Mrs. Tian, everyone else in the family sent Han Luying, Tian Yuan and others to the brigade entrance to ride on the ox cart.
"When you go to the army, just work and train diligently, don't worry. At home, your father and I are in good health, and we are used to doing the housework, so we will take good care of ourselves. On the contrary, you two should take good care of your health over there, don't try to be too strong during training, take a break if you feel uncomfortable, and eat more when you eat." Lin Meiyu said naggingly.
Tian Yuan and Han Luying had been listening quietly to Lin Meiyu's worried instructions.
"Mom, don't worry. We are going to the army now. Unlike before, we have to train with them all the time. We may be more relaxed now than before!" Tian Yuan said.
"Then you have to be careful and get along well with your comrades. That way, if you have any problems outside, you will have someone to help you."
Their home was not far from the brigade entrance. After Lin Meiyu chattered for a few words, they arrived at the brigade entrance and saw Niu Laosi, dressed warmly, standing there waiting for them.
They didn't know what to say anymore, so they put their luggage on the ox cart and watched Tian Yuan and Han Luying get on the cart, which then drove away little by little.
Lin Meiyu couldn't help but stand there and wipe away her tears.
"Let's go back, Mom. It's too cold outside!" Tian Tian's face was a little red from the cold, and she urged Lin Meiyu to go back quickly.
After wiping away her tears, Lin Meiyu felt much better. After all, this was not the first time she had experienced such a situation. She quickly adjusted her mood. After returning home, she put away the toiletries that Tian Yuan and Han Luying had ordered, leaving them for their use next time they came back.
